Forecast: In my opinion, this match is expected to have a low number of goals scored, probably no more than four. This could be due to the teams being tired as they play quite frequently. Additionally, the game may be tense and both teams may focus on defense, which could limit the number of goals. Therefore, I expect a more balanced game with a focus on defense, leading to reduced scoring. However, in hockey, anything is possible, and there are never guaranteed predictions, so it's worth following the game closely and evaluating the gameplay in real time.
In the match between Avtomobilist and Lokomotiv, a high-scoring game is expected. Both teams are capable of scoring and conceding a lot of goals, making this match interesting and unpredictable. Thanks to their open style of play and possible tactical experiments before the playoffs, we can expect a fast-paced encounter and a high number of goals. Considering their history of head-to-head meetings and the tendency for more goals towards the end of the season, I predict over 4.5 goals scored in the match.
